I would like to support the various ODROID (and I think there's over a dozen of them) but at the moment we don't support any of the Exynos platforms well at the moment and upstream they still haven't managed to land even the basic Multi Platforms support for that kernel which pretty much kills us dead to support it well. I believe Linaro have the action item to land to MP support and I've been told since around 3.7 that it'll be "next cycle" but it never seems to make it. Once MP support lands we'll start to look at it closer.
Sorry to ask what may be obvious, but "Multi Platforms support" means device tree support?
No, it means booting a single kernel on multiple SoCs. Basically going back to prior to 3.7 we had to have a different kernel for each SoC (tegra/imx/highbank/omap/versatile) and now we have a single kernel for pretty much everything. DT tends to be one of the things that come with that but it's not necessary or dependent.
